1. Thank you for your admirable research

However, does it matter whether or not those who lived on the real margins as street trans women & cross dressing prostitutes - like Marsha P Johnson - identified themselves as gay or trans

Even in the 1990s doing drag /being trans…
2. … (chicks with dicks) was a way of living, renting & eating

The prospects for poor gender incongruent people are the same today

In Brazil you will make more to survive being a travesti (a TW with a penis) than as an ‘out’ Transsexual woman. In India you will do better
3. … as a Hijra than as a TW

Understanding Trans History is complex, hearing the Trans voice has to be mediated through place, times & cultures

We need to be aware that medical, cultural & social understandings of TP, include self understanding by TP were going through..,

The FG worst strategic blunder in recent memory is likely the decision to hurriedly file criminal charges against Nasir El-Rufai based solely on his statements interview on Arise TV.
You cannot secure a conviction against El-Rufai purely on his own words. Image
The prosecution would first need to independently prove that Nuhu Ribadu's phone was actually intercepted or tapped, an extremely difficult task without forensic evidence.
Worse still, if Ribadu or the government were to concede or allow evidence that his phone was indeed
compromised without his knowledge, the fallout would be catastrophic. It would confirm a massive security breach. opposition figures (or worse) eavesdropping on sensitive conversations between the NSA and the President, or potentially even on calls involving military commanders

A Leonord Leo-linked watchdog group, Americans for Public Trust (APT) did a report on several nonprofits and their grant-making on climate. Then a group of state AGs--led by the new chair of the Republican Attorneys General (RAGA) Montana AG Austin Knudsen, a group funded by Leo and big energy-- wrote a letter to DoJ recommending a FARA investigation of those groups, based on APT's report.

The FARA arguments in the report at one point cite PR slop posts.Image
RAGA then likely sent this to Fox News, the only national outlet that has so far covered this.

NEW: When Kenyan cops arrested activist & presidential candidate @bonifacemwangi they took his devices.

When he got his personal phone back, the password was gone.

We @citizenlab found they'd abused @cellebrite to break into it.

Here's why this abuse matters 1/Image
Image
Image
Image
2/ Your phone holds the keys to your life, and governments shouldn’t be able to help themselves to the contents just because they don’t like what you are saying.

But everywhere you look, cops are getting phone cracking technology from companies like @cellebrite.

Many abuse it.Image
Image
Image
Image
3/ @Cellebrite's abuse potential is clear.

Now, Cellebrite says that they have a human rights committee & do due diligence...

Because even Cellebrite knows that if you sell phone cracking tech to security services with bad oversight, you have a problem.

So why are there so many sales to questionable security services?Image

In Russia, "import substitution," like many other things, has long turned not into technological development but into a convenient way to siphon off budget funds. The state allocates money for the creation of "domestic developments," after which companies take ready-made

Western solutions, slightly adapt them, and present them as their own innovations, keeping subsidies and reporting an alleged technological breakthrough. A telling example is the case of the company Newco. The Ministry of Industry and Trade attempted in court to recover
177.6 million rubles, arguing that hearing aids developed with state funding were in fact based on technology from the Danish company Oticon and did not constitute an independent development. However, the Moscow Arbitration Court sided with the business, ruling that

Advice for AI engineers 💡

Voice assistants do not need cloud models.
A small local model does the job.

Faster. Cheaper.

Here's an example ↓

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺?

Most devs default to API calls, like GPT-5, Gemini 3 and friends.

And this works great when you want to impress your boss, or your next round of investors.

However, it does not move the needle in most businesses.

Why?
- Bye bye data privacy
- Hello latency.
- Costs through the roof.

Local models solve these 3 problems. Here's a real world example ↓

My bedtime thought -

I am gobsmacked by how the average American - and almost all reporters and politicians - have failed to grasp what the Trump-Carney barney is all about
Bugger all comments on X
Nothing on MSM

It is the biggest story of the past 10 years !

Here we go

I'll use vernacular ...

On Saturday, Trump told Carney to hand control of Canada over to the USA - via a document cobbled together last Wednesday called "The Northern Alignment Protocol"

Carney didn't even look at it. He just said "This meeting is over" and walked out

Over the next 3 days, Carney activated long time ready plans (ie he knew what the NAP would be ages ago).
Oil will be diverted from US to Japan.
Oil ships en route to the US Eastern seaboard turned back.
An AI tech alliance that specifically excludes USA was formed.
